The Board has determined that the overpayment debt from February 1, 2009 to January 31, 2010 is valid and should be waived due to financial hardship. The remaining portion of the debt incurred from February 2010 to February 2014 is invalid.
The deciding factor: The Board found that repayment would violate principles of equity and good conscience as it resulted in financial hardship for the Veteran, including potential loss of housing.
